Fullerton, 18th District.-Monday night
last was Hollow Fen and the young people of this
vicinity started out to have some fun, but in some
instances they CARRIED their fun too far. They
carried off gates built fences across the roads and
in one case took an old wagon apart and put it
together on top of wagon-house. The next day
the owner had to get help to take it down again,
causing him no little trouble. Some young ladies
went masquerading and had jolly time.
Sunday last was missionary day at Gatch's M
E. Church. A good collection was taken up. The
young ladies' Bible class having had the largest
sum, they were awarded the banner. This school
is we'll attended, especially by young ladies, and
will be kept open all winter.

doors, were treated to coat of paint The new
tin roof having been painted some time ago, the
building now presents good appearance. A
protracted meeting will be commenced in this
church Sunday night November 9th.
Like other neghborhoods ours is also overrun
with tree agents, and I often wonder why people
will not patronize our home nurseries, which are
perfectly reliable. Several of these agents claim
ed that they had favorite varieties that no Other
nurseries had and that their fruit from Northern
nurseries will do better in Maryland than thai
from the home nurseries. The Western and South
ern agents say the same thing. Now know from
experience that this is not true, and would ad
wise all to be careful in buying from them, as they
sell fruit that is not true to name

land, and Margaret Finley, of Mt. Savage, Mary
land, were married in this church, due care having
been exercised to know that the parties were free
to contract marriage validity and licitly. 1 have
since been informed by respectable persons re-
lated to of the parties that Mr.. Cook had a
wife living at the time of his attempted marriage.
This being the case the latter marriage was and is
invalid in the eyes of the church and state"
Cook, who is accused of bigamy, is about 60 years
of age and, according to the statement of q mem
Der Of his family, is not of very sound mind. His
real wife married to him 40 years ago in Liver
pool, England, but owing to his cruelty it is said
she left him about three years ago. He claims
that his marriage in Liverpool was only mock
marriage
